I wish I could edit my last comment!
The 'other download' item here should have been:
"IBM DOS 1.00 [Boot Floppy Image] 1.00"
(Oh, and now I can't compare that one, since I just found there is a 'download limit!')

I verified that the DISTR.IMG file in this download is identical to the other download here at VETUSWARE:
"IBM Personal Computer DOS 1.0".
And that they both have the same MD5 sum as the original IBM diskette:

Awesome deal! This appears to be the genuine thing!
The only issue I ran in to is that DCOPY wanted the disk to be formatted before it would write the image. Formatted the blank 720k 3.5" disk as 160k and all was well. Tested it and it booted just fine.

The easiest way to format a disk for PC-DOS 1.0 is using PC-DOS 1.0, but one way to solve the chicken & egg problem is to use MS-DOS 6.22- you can use help to look up the syntax but it's tricky:
format b: /u /c /4 /1 /8
or a: depending on your drive's position on the floppy ribbon cable. Basically /4 says "it's a 5.25-inch floppy", /1 says "single-sided" and /8 (sectors) says its 160k, not 180k.
There's another syntax /f:160 which spec's a 160k floppy but I haven't been able to get that syntax to work.
Yes I confirm you can write to a 3.5" floppy. Just format it to its normal size (1.44MB or 720k), then use DCOPY to write = S8. I even got mine to boot on a Core2 Duo with a wireless keyboard! but you can only do read operations. Any command which writes to disk will fail, because 3.5-inch floppies aren't supported before PC-DOS 3.2 - it's just nice that DCOPY supports them.

The image can be transferred also on a 3 1/2 floppy.
I double checked the files with the version I had from another source... it' OK.
It booted flawlessly on a 3.00GHz PIV.
You can't execute basic and basica, on modern PCs. You need ROM Basic Code ...

This image can't be opened with utilities like WinImage.
You need to copy this image with dcopy.exe (included in archive) to 5 1/4 floppy disk formatted to 160k.

Sorry, buddy, but the floppy image is corrupted. Please try uploading again!
